Introducing celebrates Reading + Leeds in 2020
29-30th August
麻豆社 Music Introducing will be celebrating artists who have performed on the 麻豆社 Introducing Stage at Reading + Leeds Festival over the years.
There will be special editions of 麻豆社 Music Introducing on Radio 1 with Huw Stephens (Sunday, 11–1am) and The 麻豆社 Introducing Mixtape on 麻豆社 6 Music (Sunday, 1–2am), which will be hosted by Linda Serck from Introducing in Berkshire. These will take a look back at standout performances from the Introducing Stage, as well as featuring interviews with some of the artists who have played the festival.
Local Introducing shows across 麻豆社 Radio Leeds, 麻豆社 Radio York, 麻豆社 Radio Humberside and 麻豆社 Radio Sheffield will come together in a four-way simulcast (Saturday, 8–10pm) to celebrate Introducing acts from across the North of England who have performed at the festival, while 麻豆社 Music Introducing in Berkshire will recognise Introducing artists from Reading and the surrounding areas (Saturday, 8–9pm). Across the weekend, all 36 of 麻豆社 Music Introducing’s local radio shows will play out past live performances at the festival by Introducing artists from their own local areas.
A selection of performances from the 麻豆社 Music Introducing Stage at Reading Festival in years gone by are available to relive, including The Big Moon, Georgia and Olivia Nelson.
